If Best Match is picked it'd probably be best to make it WWE only. That way there'd be less of a chance of people voting against matches they haven't seen.

We shouldn't be pampering casual fans, we should be showing respect to the people that know their shit.

But then there'd be no Flair/Steamboat and then I'd refuse to participate in the tournament at all.

Even if it was just 'Best WWE Match?'

I see what you mean though. Older classics would be OK I'd say, it'd be the modern classic seen around the Independent scene that would be shit on by a lot of people.

I would say the brackets could be divided by promotion (1 WWE bracket, 1 WCW/NWA bracket, 1 TNA/ECW bracket, 1 All others bracket) and then the final 4 would be the winner from each promotion(s)..... problem is, then we are limited to how many WWE and WCW matches make it in to the tournament and we'd most likely be stretching to find enough to fill out the other brackets..

That could work would have to go with 32 per bracket instead of 16 though and up the total field to 128 matches

That would work. Greatest ever match has to be one of major ones we have yet to have, should be a hard one to call.

Have we done best Wrestlemania's before? If not that would be fun, could pear the early ones with the later ones in the early rounds. I know what my favourites are but would be interesting to see what others thought.

I think that would be a nice one to run in WrestleMania season. Run it in the month leading up to WM XXX.

What about 'The Most Greatest Match Type". ie Ladder Match vs Cage Match, 2 out of 3 Falls Match vs Last Man Standing match, etc.

Voters would judge them based on how great the matches have been booked over the past years, the simplicity of the match gimmick, etc.

Just an idea.

Like that idea too, would be interesting to see how older gimmicks such as the rumble and War Games fared against recent ones.

Don't think so, might not be enough to run a tournament on that.

Ya I guess you are right there.

Have you guys done any of these?

Greatest Heels
Greatest Gold Chasers (Superstars who never won the world title)
Greatest Feuds

Don't think so but the gold chasers one has been considered it maybe the next one in fact.
